Classic Crave: A Confidential Source by Jan Brogan

Investigative reporter Hallie Ahernused to work in Boston, but now is covering school board meetings in a tiny bureau office in Rhode Island. One night the local convenience store clerk is shot while Hallie is in the store. Some suggest it’s not just a robbery – this story is Hallie’s chance to make it on to the Providence Chronicle’s investigative team.

This novel had good fast plotting and I liked the character of Hallie. This turned out to be the start of a new mystery series.
